Thread: Brakes, almost crashed....

That'll be the shuttle valves which control the fluid flow around the ABS block to the caliprs. Converting to non ABS is illegal. If it is valves seizing it's probably due to contamimation in the fluid, you might find a good flush out and new fluid (which would probably not be a bad idea as it's either never been done or not done frequently enough anyway) might solve the issue if thats the source. If it's particle contamination and it's scored a piston or bore then is a new block.

Yep, mine did that push back shudder clunking noise as well. I tried all the stop gap measures, but brakes are things we need most. Took it to a Land Rover Bank in Burwood Victoria and handed over $2400 for new ABS sensors, Lines and brakes. Better now. like new.

for those interested, yesterday i gently tapped down the abs sensors on the hub.

since the original post, i had notice that the issue became rather prominent when braking on corrugations in the sand or dirt.

too the car for a test run to see if i could get the issue to occur again, and it seems to have cleared up a bit on off road corrugations...



shall keep you posted as to how effective this has been

D1 ABS has been scary on corrugated roads (sealed or unsealed) from day one. Sometimes they feel like they are accelerating rather than braking when you hit corrugations on a down hill.
